If it's true that Winky comes up to Snape's knees, then she must be
about a foot and a half or so- three feet tall (a meter or yard) would
be about waist height.

I'm thinking house elves are between two and three feet.  Look in Gof,
Ch. 21.  When Harry enters the kitchens:

"Next second all of the wind had been knocked out of him as the
squealing elf hit him hard in the midriff, hugging him so tightly he
thought his ribs would break.
"D-Dobby?" gasped Harry.
"it *is* Dobby, sir, it is!" squealed the voice from somewhere around
his navel."

How tall's Harry, 4.5 to 5 feet, maybe?  Cut that in half and you get
two and a half feet, if Harry's 5 feet, just to use a round figure. 
Maybe females are shorter?  A foot and a half to two feet, if we assume
Snape is 6 feet.


Betty, who is starting already to realize the adictive power of actually
posting to this group.
